Frost Wolf liked the rain; his Ice Attribute was originally a branch of the Water Attribute.

He sat on the rooftop of a casino, under a sun umbrella, with a young woman standing beside him.

The woman was relatively short and stocky, but on the Wasteland, that's the standard of beauty.

Under the sun umbrella was also a round table, with wine glasses on it, filled with wine.

There were also some cold cuts and dried fruits on the table.

The woman would occasionally pick up a wine glass and hand it over, and now and then, she'd grab some food and feed him.

"This is the life," Frost Wolf exclaimed, taking a sip of the chilled wine and exhaling in satisfaction.

Just as he was half-dazed, admiring the rain, someone came running without an umbrella.

The runner stopped about two meters away from the sun umbrella and spoke respectfully.

"Sir, that middleman has gone missing, the trail has gone cold."

A while ago, someone approached them to help investigate Jian Lei.

Such matters didn't interest Frost Wolf, but his subordinates remembered this Jian Lei had once had a conflict with them.

The opposing side was from the Inspection Bureau, making a direct confrontation inconvenient, so they saved face for the other side.

But the opposition held back their severed hand, which was an intolerable offense.

Especially since the person with the severed hand was a top salesperson, skilled at finding clients among ordinary people.

If such people suffered a loss, and the casino didn't back them, it'd not only be embarrassing but also impact future business.

In any case, that person kept clamoring for Frost Wolf to avenge him.

Frost Wolf summoned him, had him beaten up, but eventually remarked.

"No one bullies my people and gets away with it unscathed, but... can't you endure a little?"

Frost Wolf indeed knew the big picture, recognizing not only he couldn't provoke the Inspection Bureau, but the Andre Family behind him couldn't either.

But a mere honorary consultant was a different story.

Not reacting immediately was to respect the Inspection Bureau, but who could tell who caused an accident in three or five years?

It was because of these words that when someone commissioned the casino's informant network to investigate Jian Lei, they took the job.

After all, Frost Wolf planned to deal with that guy sooner or later, so why not first understand his strengths and weaknesses?

Later, someone reported to Frost Wolf, and he thought something was off about it.

If anyone dared investigate Jian Lei, what kind of existence would that be, and couldn't they handle it themselves?

Now letting the casino's informant network investigate clearly had the intent to redirect trouble elsewhere.

Frost Wolf indeed had some ideas about dealing with Jian Lei, but the timeframe was highly uncertain, even possibly indefinite.

In the end, it was to comfort his subordinates and boost their morale.

If there was a chance in the future, vengeance would certainly be exacted, but if not, there was no need to forcefully create conflict.

He didn't oppose his people investigating Jian Lei.

But given the possibility of taking the blame, he wouldn't let the other side have an easy win.

At the very least, they must identify who was behind it and who was exploiting the casino.

Such beautiful rain, accompanied by such news, was indeed a mood dampener.

Frost Wolf impatiently remarked, "Jian Lei, I'll deal with him sooner or later, but you all are too restless; that's no good!"

The man standing in the rain didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe the water from his face.

He respectfully said, "Sir, we know we were wrong; please give me a few more days, and I'll surely find the person."

"No need to look anymore," Frost Wolf replied indifferently, "it's difficult to find a dead man, just be more cautious in the future."

Seriously, would it be hard to silence someone thinking of dealing with Jian Lei?

Frost Wolf watched the rain from the rooftop until late into the night, with various reports coming to him intermittently.

Managing a casino had many tasks. The small matters were not worth his attention, but there were quite a few big ones.

Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs, clearly another problem not easily solved.

Frost Wolf instructed the woman to go see what was happening.

For the casino, midnight was the peak time for visitors, but there were also a lot of drunken patrons, some with status.

Watching the continuous strands of rain, he took a small sip from his wine glass, "Weather like this, we can endure until dawn."

At that moment, a strange wind suddenly swept over, and a dark figure appeared from below, rising into the air.

Frost Wolf's eyes snapped open, intending to quickly expel the alcohol from his body.

At the Ultimate Warrior cultivation level, unless the liquor was extremely strong, it wouldn't actually intoxicate someone.

Many Ultimate Warriors get drunk simply because they want to.

——————

Frost Wolf had always enjoyed that tipsy feeling, especially on rainy nights, allowing him to feel a transcendental serenity beyond the mundane.

But for someone with his cultivation level, shaking off the tipsiness wasn't something that could be done in ten seconds.

He truly hadn't expected someone to choose this moment to attempt to assassinate him, because... he had already been in contact with the Shire Family.

He was on the outer circles of the Andre Clan, whose previous cooperation was with the Harley Clan.

The two clans, while cooperative, were actually competitors. Central City wasn't that big, and the number of gamblers was limited.

During his opposition to the Harley Clan, Frost Wolf had led from the front, causing the Harley Clan to hold a grudge against him.

But now, the Harley Clan was planning to withdraw from the casino business, with the Shire Family gradually taking over.
